When does my schizophrenia subside? |
i have been suffering from schizophrenia since 2001 i am on medication.i had an acute attack in 2000 it subsided in 3 months You have an illness that needs to be monitored Thur drug therapy for the rest of your life.........please be well Kara Unfortunately with mental health, very little medication cures the problem but just keeps it at bay. You wil probably be on medication the rest of your life. Now, I am confused by your question, since you've been on the medication, have you had any occurences since you began it? If not it shows the medicine is working and you should not stop taking it. I'm currently taking medication for a disorder that pretty much keeps me normal while i'm on it. I've tried to come off of it several times and can't. But to me I think it's worth taking a pill everyday for the rest of my life than having to deal with worrying wether today is going to be the day it comes back. It's different for different people depending on the type of schizophrenia, severity of the illness, effectiveness of medications, support system in place, friends, meaningful work or volunteer activities, etc. If you haven't achieved relative stability in 6 months, ask your doctor to reassess the treatment plan, or ask for a second opinion. My heart goes out to you. I think schizophrenia is a very cruel disease, but I've known many people who function quite well with it. Many of those are people who failed other drug treatments and then ended up on Clozaril (Clozapine). well its been 5 years... its different for everyone i guess good luck mines been since last year and im finally starting to find myself again... but do yourself a favor and don't tell them the whole truth or you'll get more meds than you can handle have a nice day hi , i am shruti to help u out knowing urself better two more questions: may i know what that major attack was? and also to what age group u belong to? there are varieties in schizophenia: 1.simple 2.hebephrenic 3.catatonic 4.paranoid in addition , there are the following clinical varieties: 5.schizo-affective 6.pseudoneurotic 7.periodic catatonia 8.late paraphrenia 9.capers syndrome are u confused by seeing a number of varieties but i gave all the information for ur knowing the thing is first know from ur doctor to wat kind u belong to i like to add sthing now a days doctors are doing business with patients giving the unnecessary medication take the second opinion schizo is probably a genetically determined biochemical disorder bur a large variety of factors may act as the sufficient causes which makes it illness at a particular time in life unless i know i cant suggest the treatment not only medication but there r other forms of treatment avail so dont get upset u r in not so state what u think u r in u r okay able to think of solution to ur problem right u r better than electro convulsive therapy is useful psychologist This is a very good blog, a beginner鈥檚 guide to abnormal psychology.
